4 Do the full page illustration for the album of the month in Mojo magazine.

With this illustration of James Mercer of the Shins, I can now tick off number 4.

Viv Tufnell for vivtufnell.com.au

Renowned Melbourne cricket writer Pet Zitterschlager commissioned me to create a visual representation of his hilarious character Viv Tufnell.

Here we see Viv as he currently looks and below when he sported the full moustache which was once de rigueur for all Aussie cricketers.
